Actionscript 3 :: AIR File Too Big Breaks During Installation?
Mar 21, 2012
A client is having me convert an HTML5 video web application that I've already built into an AIR app.
The end users are going to need this to work with no internet access, so I MUST include a LOT of video files with the installer. This works fine on my machine, but my client can't install it because the .air file is too large and they don't have enough RAM. We'll need this installed on a number of laptops that aren't super powerful.
My SDK is up to date and we're using AIR 3.1. Has anyone else run into a similar situation? Is there any workaround? For instance could I either include both the installer and the .air in a zipped folder, then have the installer move the video files to the appropriate location, or use AS to have the installer download the files (they will have internet access when installing).
I have changed the "src=filname.swf" in the <embed> tag as well as the "name=filename" part of the <embed> tag however to no avail. The video still no longer plays after I rename the file. It was built in ActionScript3 I think.
I've made a little flash, with AS3, to view the data generated by some program I wrote... The data is in a .csv file and are loaded to the memory with a URLLoader object.
The flash loads well .csv files which can come to almost 50 MB in size... But when I try to load a file with 160 MB, the player just stop working... I run the last flash player version, outside of the browser...
I've heard that the Flash has limitations on the amount of memory it can store... But in another question, they say it has not.
What may be causing the crash? - I don't think it is the code, since it runs smooth for small files...
Is it possible to load a text file using line breaks as a delimeter rather than having a &var= at the beginning of each line? Like by a for instance? I have a text file with about 1000 lines that I need to load/display.
I put together an .html page using a photoshop jpg that I sliced into sections. I was asked to replace two graphics from the original .jpg file with animated content of the same size. Using my slices as a guide for size, I created the two animated graphics in flash and saved them out as .swf files. They are both the exact same size(px) as the static images. I opened my newly sliced html file in dreamweaver, deleted the static images and placed the .swf files.
For some reason the .swf files cause gaps in my html page. Tere are no borders on the .swf files and I can't figure what I've done wrong.
One note: It seems to only ad space when viewing from Mozilla. Havent' tested it on a pc yet either.[URL]

After I installed CS4, I clicked "New-->Form Application", then I get this error[code]...
I searched google with this message, and it seems that people are getting these after they do some modifications but guess what, this is a new installation!
Based on my research it has to do with corrupt action script files but 1.) it's a new install and 2.) I can't find any action script files on my computer!
I'm doing an application adobe air with Flash CS4, in as3 , I'm really don't need a database, but a small file database it gives me some adventages, just I need a little file, with 2 o 3 tables for a few data, no much that 50 I think. I look for some kind of database that don't need instalation(important), if with a dll, or something similar (it's only for windows). I google for the last 4 hours but only I find mysql, and I don't want any kind of motor working. MS Access, it would be ok, but I haven't found information.
On Linux (Debian Lenny) the installation instructions for the *installer*.tar.gz download file say:Unpack file.Navigate into directory or folder created.Run install program.But no directory created; no install program - what the hell is going on??What you get is a single *.so file. What do you do with it?I got it to work in the past, but perhaps by a different method.
I recently re-installed CS4, but files I had created with flash AS3 and worked before don't work anymore. Even more, EXE files don't work when publish with the new installation. I didn't install all programs, but basically Flash, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks.
trying to use flash to create an installation cd, i encountered a problem with fscommand, and its exec parameter. i specified the path to the exe file but flash just can open it.
I am trying to install FMS 4.5 on Fedora 15 x64 server. I have downloaded the fms 4.5 development server and extracted the files. Now, when I type the command:

I've just installed Flash builder on my machine, which went ahead and installed the debug version of Flash on my machine as well. It appears now that this has broken Flash in my browsers or at least the browsers have no idea where flash is located on my machine. When I open a browser and navigate to a Flash page I get the message,
"Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
This is from Google chrome but FF is also effected.
i need to split a large text file into an array at line breaks so one array element = one line.i have tried the using "" in both match() and in RegExp but it doesnt work.i had the g and m flags on. tried the $ sign too.
Is it possible to have multiple FMS installation running on 1 linux server?This mean that each fmsadmin, fmsmaster, fmsedge, fmscore will run under a specific user. (not vhosts of a single FMS install)How will this impact the performance of the other FMS instances in case there are more of them running on the same server?
I installed Flash CS4 a couple of days ago. Trying it out for the first time today. I went to import a video & got a message: "The required version of Adobe Media Encoder is not installed or the installation is damaged. Please reinstall."
I'm showing a Media Encoder CS4 folder under my Adobe folder, so I assume I've got the latest version installed, but it's a corrupt installation & I need to reinstall. My question is: do I need to redo the whole Flash CS4 installation? The reason I ask is that our IT provided me with multiple files for the install - there's ADBEFLPRCS4Win_LS1.exe. That's for the main install. But there's also a ADOBEFLPRCS4Win_Cont_LS1.exe. That's the added content file. I don't want to uninstall/reinstall Flash if I don't have to. Does anybody know if Media Encoder installs from the main Flash installation file, or from the added content installation file?
We have a dedicated server running our website. It is windows 2003 server r2 standard edition and has IIS running.I have installed FMS 3.5 on the server but could not connect to the server from internet.I was just trying to access sample.flv from vod/media

Isn't there a way (as2 code?) to have flash format the text just like a browser would if it were a normal html page?
I want to have some line breaks in my XML. I have a the code for ignore white spaces which is eliminating my line breaks. i have tried <br> which doesnot work.
I'm using bulkLoader to load an mp3 and an flv using their simple-example.as
It works fine if I make the SimpleExampleMain the file's class, loads sound and video and plays them both when they're finished. However, if I DON'T make it the class and just use:
Code: var se:SimpleExampleMain=new SimpleExampleMain();
it loads both, plays the audio fine, but doesn't show the video?? It says that it's loaded, but it doesn't show anything. NOTHING is different except it's not the file Class...
I'm new to flash and AS3, and have just figured out how toload an external XML document into a textField, which is thenstyled via an external CSS document. The styling works fine,colours change, font size changes etc... But! And here's myproblem, when the xml data is loaded into the textfield, where Ihave nested styles, it creates a line break.I have created a textField on the stage with an instance nameof: eventsContentTextFieldWhich is set to dynamic, scrolling (with a UIScrollBarcomponent), html and multiline.
